Turnbuckles for Rigging and Repairs
A turnbuckle is a simple metal device for adjusting tension in ropes, cables and other types of rigging assemblies. From highway guardrails to suspension bridges to the rigging on a ship, you’ll find turnbuckles in a host of applications. They can also be useful for do-it-yourself repairs around the house, such as fixing a sagging screen door.
At Lowe’s, you’ll find turnbuckle hardware combinations suited to a variety of purposes. Choose hook and hook designs — which feature hooks on both ends — for short-term rigging, such as temporary fencing. With a hook and eye design, you can easily remove one end of the connection while keeping a closed-loop connection on the other. Eye and eye designs allow for secure attachments to wire rope and other rigging hardware.
We stock turnbuckles in a variety of sizes and load ratings. Select a stainless steel turnbuckle with an aluminum body for corrosion resistance or a forged steel turnbuckle with heated end fittings for extra strength and durability.
